    Hello all, I'm new to setting up GPO's, but I think I did everything right. I put a couple computers in a test OU. I then went into SEE Manager and set up a GPO for that OU. Below is the options I chose for my GPO. I then enabled and enforced the GPO on that OU. I've checked back a day later and found the computers haven't decrypted themselves. What else am I missing?

    Hi, what version of SEE are you using?

    Otherwise, it might be worth confirming that the policies are getting to the computers. You can do this using resultant set of policy (see page 13 of the Policy Admin documentation). I'm not sure how it applies that particular decrypt policy otherwise - have you tried doing gpupdate /force and rebooting a couple of times?

    Hi There,

    I've tested this ..... If you deploy see client package via GPO or install manually on the client machine >>> if you apply the policy then it will decrypt the drive ..... check is GPO getting applied on the machine -- check gpresult >> check event logs ...


    this should go through -- seems like could be an issue with the GPO

    Using the latest version...

    I tried forcing the updates on the client but that didn't do it.  I ran that report and didn't see my GPO settings....I wonder why they aren't being applied.

    Check if you can deploy GPO on any other machine which is in the same OU !!! if yes issue with machine -- if no then issue with GPO/OU/Settings.

    See if GPO is going through for any other machine in any GPO ... I also test it with 705

    It works...I was being a retard...and got mixed up to which computers I put in my Test OU.  Thanks for the help and tools you mentioned.  I know I'll make use of it sometime soon.
